[quote]What a naive mindset. Do you really think criminals care about whether there's a death penalty or not?[/quote] -of course they do. Some criminals commit crimes to provide the needs for their family. Some do it to get rich instantly. Others seek the thrill of doing something against the moral and legal laws. Others just have a fucked-up mind. It's all about existence. It's all about life. It's not just staying alive but the point of living. Take that away from a criminal and he'll think twice of doing something that would compromise his existence or his purpose of existence.
